Abstract: Abstract are written in english with Times New Roman 11 pt Italic. The abstract should
be clear, concise, and descriptive. This abstract should provide a brief introduction to the problem,
objective of paper, followed by a statement regarding the methodology and a brief summary of
results. The abstract should end with a comment on the significance of the results or a brief
conclusion. Abstracts are written in 12 pt Times New Roman, preferably not more than 300
words.

Keywords: Maximum of 5 keywords separated by semicolon (;).

1. Introduction the current study will address; statement

The introduction part (recommended
length: 500-1000 words) gives the reader
and enticing glimpse of what is to come.
It must grab the reader’s attention by
stimulating attention, interest, desire and
action. In other words, the introduction
must effectively “sell” the manuscript.
The introduction generally consists
of: a broad statement about theme or
topic of the study; summary of available
literatures and cites the most important
studies that are relevant to the current
research; statement about controversies,
gaps, inconsistencies in the literature that
about problems or questions to be
addressed in the study or objectives of
the study. You can also state at the end
of introduction outline of the structure of
the rest of the article.
2. Materials and Methods
Materials and methods section
(recommended: 500-1000 words) des-
cribes materials used in research and
steps followed in the execution of the
study. A brief justification for the
method used is also stated so the readers
can evaluate the appropriateness of the

[1]

method, reliability and validity of the
results.
3. Results and Discussion
Results should be clear and concise.
The results should summarize (sci-
entific) findings rather than providing
data in great detail. Please highlight
differences between your results or
findings and the previous publications by
other researchers. The discussion should
explore the significance of the results of
the work, not repeat them. Separation or
com-bination of Results and Discussion
section is accepted. Avoid extensive
citations and discussion of published
literature.
In discussion, it is the most important
section of your article. Here you get the
chance to sell your data. Make the
discussion corresponding to the results,
but do not reiterate the results. Often
should begin with a brief summary of the
main scientific findings (not experi-
mental results). The following compo-
nents should be covered in discussion:
How do your results relate to the original
question or objectives outlined in the
Introduction section (what)? Do you
provide interpretation scientifically for
each of your results or findings presented
(why)? Are your results consistent with

what other investigators have reported
(what else)? Or are there any
differences?
4. Conclusion
Conclusions should answer the
objectives of research. Tells how your
work advances the field from the present
state of knowledge. Without clear
Conclusions, reviewers and readers will
find it difficult to judge the work, and
whether or not it merits publication in the
journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or
just list experimental results. Provide a
clear scientific justification for your
work, and indicate possible applications
and extensions. You should also suggest
future works and/or policy implication.
Acknowledgment
